does ryan clark play at denver

Hello everyone, my first post.......Just thinking what happens with Ryan clark when we as a 5 seed play the 4 seed Broncos in Denver....being Da Raiders are their only competition at this point and they go to Green bay and lets be realistic now, were not winning this division, and Denvers D is good enough to win that division.....does Ryan clark play, and if not, how big is this?..I know he may be old and slow, but it's the playoffs and he is a starter for a reason....I know im looking far ahead but the clark factor and TBOW factor.....this will be one of the biggest most watched wild card games in NFL history.... thanks

Most of us are still holding out hope beyond hope that Baltimore will stumble and the Steelers can win out to take the division. However with only 3 games left it's crunch time. If the Ravens are going to lose it's going to be against either the Chargers or the Bengals. The Chargers being the more likely scenario IMO however I'm not banking on it.

If the Steelers do end up traveling to Denver when it's all said and done; Ryan Clark is technically cleared to play however the chances of him doing so are unlikely. The Steelers will most likely error on the side of caution and not play him. Even in the playoffs taking a chance on his life is not something they are willing to do even if Ryan wants too with that sickle-cell trait.

Ryan Mundy is very capable for us at Safety. He may not be the big hitter that Ryan Clark is but he's consistent and plays his position solid. If the Steelers end up going to Mile High, I'm comfortable with Mundy out there, no problem.
